On November 8, the Pacific Northwest’s premier gala returns — richer, bolder, and more decadent than ever. This is your night to embrace true impact — and to make a difference.
GSBA is the largest LGBTQ+ and allied chamber of commerce in North America, proudly serving Washington State since 1981. We connect small businesses, nonprofits, and corporations committed to equity, inclusion, and economic opportunity. When you join GSBA, you join a statewide community that champions LGBTQ+ business, offers exclusive marketing and networking opportunities, and advocates at every level of government. From our Ready for Business grants to personalized support and spotlight features, we help members grow and stay visible. We're also building the future through the GSBA Scholarship & Education Fund, which has helped nearly 600 LGBTQ+ scholars access higher education.
Hosted by KOKO’s, this special event features authentic Mexican cuisine, live music, traditional altars, a stunning Catrina Fashion Show, and community impact through support for the GSBA Scholarship & Education Fund.

"GSBA has always supported me, my community, and my business, but when the pandemic struck I realized the true value of the organization. GSBA helped me navigate supportive small business programs when I needed them and helped me launch my pandemic pivot: Bite Society. Through connections with major customers and venues, Bite Society took off and rolling with the support of GSBA. They are always my first call when I need help with my business."
